I have 3 Windows 98 machines connected to a router with a new XP machine. The Windows 98 machines see each other. One of the Windows 98 machines sees and can be seen by the XP machine. The XP machine can ping all of the 98 machines by IP address and the 98 machines can ping the XP machine by address but two of the Windows 98 machines cannot ping the XP machine by name and the XP cannot ping them by name. All of the machines connect to the internet through the DSL modem fine. What can be causing the name resolution problem?

The Windows 98 machines see each other. One of the Windows 98 machines sees
and can be seen by the XP machine. The XP machine can ping all of the 98
machines by IP address and the 98 machines can ping the XP machine by
address but two of the Windows 98 machines cannot ping the XP machine by
name and the XP cannot ping them by name. All of the machines connect to
the internet through the DSL modem fine. What can be causing the name
resolution problem?
Ping by IP address OK but not by name 
Linear Mode
